Kurzfassung

The Mare Serenitatis/Mare Tranquillitatis shelf region is expected to expose basaltic materials highly different in Composition and age.As we know from photogeological mapping, a number of surface units can be identified in this region. The goal of the study is the chemical identification of basaltic surface units as well as the determination of their areal distribution. Hence, lunar samples are only available for the adjacent small area of the Apollo 17 landing site and multispectral reflectance measuremenrs have to be used for this purpose.
